Does Apico-Coronal Implant Position Influence Peri-Implant Marginal Bone Loss? A 36-Month Follow-Up Randomized Clinical Trial
2019
Purpose Preserving peri-implant bone and reducing exposure of the rough implant surface might influence long-term outcomes of implant therapy. The aim of this study was to compare peri-implant clinical and radiologic parameters after crestal and subcrestal dental implant placement at 36 months' follow-up. Materials and Methods We carried out a randomized clinical trial involving partially edentulous patients in need of an implant-supported, partial fixed dental prosthesis or a single crown. Patients were randomized according to the implant insertion depth: implants placed approximately 2 mm below the bone crest (test group) or implants placed at bone crest level (control group). They were e…
Closure of oroantral communication with buccal fat pad after removing bilateral failed zygomatic implants: a case report and 6-month follow-up
2015
The aim of this study was to assess the use of buccal fat pad (BFP) technique as an option to close oroantral communications (OAC) after removing failed zygomatic implants in a patient with a severely resorbed maxilla, and to determine the degree of patient satisfaction. A 64-year-old woman presented recurrent sinusitis and permanent oroantral communication caused by bilateral failed zygomatic implants, 3 years after prosthetic loading. Zygomatic implants were removed previous antibiotic treatment and the BFP flap technique was used to treat the OAC and maxillary defect. The degree of patient satisfaction after treatment was assessed through a visual analogue scale (VAS). At 6-months follow…

2011
Objective: This study explored 12‐month outcome and its associations to social adjustment‐related variables in patients with first‐episode non‐affective psychosis in Finland and Spain.Methods: Fo...
Instantaneous hourly and daily radiation on tilted surfaces
1991
A simple model to evaluate the irradiance incident on tilted surfaces of various orientations is proposed in this paper. It is based on the knowledge of the monthly daily average values of global and diffuse radiation on horizontal surfaces and their distributions over a period of a day. These distributions are approximated by a modified Gaussian expression with two parameters, which take into account the morning-to-afternoon asymmetries. Integrating the irradiance over a period of an hour or a day, values of monthly hourly average and daily on variously oriented surfaces have been calculated for the locations of Barcelona, Genoa, and Montreal. The calculated values are generally in good ag…
Diffuse UV erythemal radiation experimental values
2007
[1] Measurements of diffuse UV erythemal radiation (UVER) using a shadowband have been corrected using the models proposed by Drummond (1956), LeBaron et al. (1990), and Batlles et al. (1995). Two different methods were used to validate these models: intercomparison with an Optronic OL754 spectroradiometer and comparison with the values simulated by two radiative transfer codes, SMARTS and SBDART. For this comparison only clear days have been used. The corrected experimental values were analyzed in order to study the average values of the diffuse UVER fraction in relation to the clearness index kt. These varied between 62%, for kt close to 0.8, and 93% for kt of 0.2–0.3. Finally, a study of…
Angļu valodas mēnesis skolēnu pozitīvas attieksmes veicināšanai pret angļu valodu un tās kultūru 1. – 4. klasēs
2015
Šajā diplomdarbā tiek analizēts, kā studentu pozitīvā attieksme pret angļu valodu un tās kultūru var tikt sekmēta angļu valodas mēneša ietvaros pamatskolas 1.- 4. klasēs, iekļaujot tādas aktivitātes kā angļu dziesmu konkurss, angļu pēcpusdienu ar izklaidēm un mācību scenārijiem, spēlēm un lomu spēļu aktivitātēm, dzejas konkursiem utt. Kvantitatīvie (1.- 4. klašu skolēnu aizpildītas anketas, n = 342) un kvalitatīvie dati (intervijas ar 2 skolotājiem un 1 administrācijas pārstāvi no skolas), kā arī novērojumi 2015. gada februārī Ziemeļvalstu ģimnāzijā veido pētniecības bāzi. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja, ka šādu aktivitāšu laikā skolēni ne tikai mācās saskaņā ar mācību programmu, bet arī iesai…
An automatic tool for reconstructing monthly time-series of hydro-climatic variables at ungauged basins
2017
Abstract Integrative information models for filling/reconstructing hydro-climatic time-series are required for a variety of practical applications. A GIS-based model for a rapid and reliable assessment of monthly time-series of several key hydro-climatic variables at the basin scale, is here developed as plug-in and applied to the entire region of Sicily (Italy). The plug-in, once the desired basin outlet section and time-window are selected, uses appropriate spatial techniques and algorithms to identify its drainage area and estimate the corresponding mean areal rainfall and temperatures time-series. A recent regional regressive rainfall-runoff model is successively applied for the assessm…
Du Zodiaque et des hommes. Temps, espace, éternité dans les édifices de culte entre le IV e et le XIII e siècle
2017
This dissertation deals with the iconography of the Zodiac between Antiquity and Middle Age, in particular in churches between the XIth and the XIIIth century. The heart of the dissertation is the analysis of a corpus of 260 items. These items concern the figuration of the signs of the Zodiac and the Labors of the months, whether or not combinated, within ecclesial ornamentation between the XIth and the XIIIth century. This period corresponds to the “renaissance” and to the growth of the figuration of the Zodiac in this context. The study is divided into three parts. The first section deals with historiography and with the presentation of the corpus. Then, the origins, re-appropriations and…
Early and midterm outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds for ostial coronary lesions: insights from the GHOST-EU registry.
2016
Aims: We aimed to investigate the outcomes of bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) in coronary ostial lesions. Ostial lesions represent a challenging angiographic subset, with higher event rates compared with non-ostial lesions. BVS might be associated with advantages over the long term, but their safety in this setting remains to be explored. Methods and results: Procedural and 12-month follow-up data from consecutive patients treated with BVS for lesions located at the ostium of the right (RCA), left anterior (LAD) or circumflex (LCX) coronary in 11 European centres were collected. The primary device-oriented endpoint was defined as a combination of cardiovascular death, target vessel m…
CO(2)-laser treatment of laryngeal amyloidosis.
2003
Four consecutive female patients (age: 14–47 years) with laryngeal amyloidosis, treated with endoscopic CO2-laser surgery, entered the study. All patients underwent periodic microlaryngoscopies following surgery to confirm the adequacy of the surgical resection. Recurrences or suspected lesions were resected and fibrin deposits were removed to prevent the formation of synechiae or healing adhesions. After two negative microlaryngoscopies, performed two months apart, the patients were followed-up approximately every six months over a period from six months to 18 years, with no evidence of recurrences. The endoscopic CO2-laser technique is highly effective in the treatment of localized laryng…
